Heat pump rebates and tax credits in 2026, by state
There is no federal heat pump tax credit for 2026 installations: the 25C credit ended for heat pumps placed in service after December 31, 2025. The federal HEAR (formerly HEEHRA) and HOMES rebates remain, but only through state programs, alongside state and utility rebates. Check whether funds are open and whether approval is required before signing an installation contract.

Heat pump rebate questions
Is there still a federal heat pump tax credit in 2026?
No. The federal Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit does not apply to heat pumps placed in service after December 31, 2025. The former limit was $2,000 per year. The 25D Residential Clean Energy Credit, which covered geothermal, ended on the same date.
Federal heat pump incentives in 2026 →What heat pump rebates are still available?
Two federally funded rebate programs remain: HEAR (formerly HEEHRA) and HOMES, a whole-home energy-savings rebate. Both reach homeowners only through an active state, territory, or Tribal program. State programs, utility rebates, and state tax credits are separate and still apply where they are open.
What happened to the HEEHRA heat pump rebate?
HEEHRA is now called the Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR) program. The federal money is delivered through states, territories, and Tribes. A heat pump rebate of up to $8,000 applies only where an active program approves the project, generally for households at or below 150% of area median income.
How do I claim a heat pump rebate?
Find the current program for the installation address, confirm household and equipment eligibility, and get any required reservation or approval before signing an installation contract. Do not buy first and assume reimbursement.
State not listed?
Not every state has its own page yet. For states not listed, DSIRE maintains a database of state and utility incentives. The federal IRA rebate page lists state-by-state HEEHRA / HOMES status.
